The challenges
An effective holistic approach to prevention and hybrid care implies seamless collaboration between all actors involved: technology companies, health professionals and the individual, possibly extended to include the work environment, financing services, friends and acquaintances, etc. It is crucial to organize the data and communication flows between all those involved as optimally as possible, while offering flexibility to all those involved to be able to do this from their own working environment and with their own technology.
Televitas responds to this challenge by building an open and scalable ecosystem that allows all actors in healthcare (technology providers, healthcare professionals, public authorities, public and private health insurers, etc.) to provide care as effectively and efficiently as possible.
The solution
Televitas' open and modular software platform accelerates the design and implementation of hybrid care pathways, both for prevention, well-being and cure.
- Healthcare professionals : can easily experiment with different medical and/or commercial sensors, wearables or apps without additional integrations or screens. All relevant data is visualized within their known working environment.
- Patients/end users : get a clear and integrated insight into their data from different sources, are automatically monitored when threshold values are exceeded, can communicate via various media (even via their own TV) with healthcare providers, friends, family, etc.
- Employers : have the opportunity to set up prevention programs in a flexible way, to which various health professionals, social service providers or reimbursers can also be affiliated.
- Third parties, such as insurers, health insurance funds, social secretariats, public health agencies, etc., can participate in the various care pathways without additional integrations.
The technology
The Televitas platform consists of the following components:
- The Televitas Data Hub : an intelligent data platform that correctly visualizes data from sensors, apps, wearables or (medical) software applications in the existing medical software (EHR, EHR, EVD, for doctors, hospitals, nursing services, care centers, care centers, etc.). The Data Hub is AI-ready, which means that various AI models can be linked, for example in the context of prevention or prediction. Currently, more than 100 data generators are already connected: medical (AND, Berry, Omron, CardiacSense, Aktiia, ...), activity trackers (Whoop, Garmin, FitBit, Oura, Coros, Polar, ...), smartphone integrations (Apple Health, GoogleFit, Samsun Health, Huawei, ...), fitness & training devices (Peloton, Zwift, Under Armour, RideWithGPS, CarioMood, ...).
- Data connectors for various sensors, wearables and apps, ranging from environmental sensors (humidity, CO2,...) to well-being sensors (sleep, movement, etc.) and health sensors (blood pressure, saturation, glycemia, weight, fall detection...) or smart watches.
- The Televitas Widget : a powerful data visualization solution within all common patient software packages.
- The Televitas Communication Hub (for non-digital native end users or specific care pathways): a communication device consisting of an HD camera, an infrared camera, microphones, radar and privacy shutter. This Interactive Hub allows communication over TV via tablet, smartphone, PC or any other TV. This can be used for sharing videos or photos, asking questions or reminding appointments, measuring movement, emotions and certain biometrics, video calling or broadcasting programs to a chosen target group. For other end users or care pathways, the Communication Hub will be replaced by a Televitas App.
- A link with a digital billing service, so that all services provided by healthcare providers can be correctly billed (with health insurers, private insurers, etc.)
